How to Tailor Standard Templates for Different Tenders
🔍 Why Tailoring Matters
Templates save time — but generic responses won’t win tenders. Commissioners want to see that you understand their specific needs, priorities, and service expectations. A tailored response shows attention to detail, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to quality outcomes.
📋 Key Areas to Tailor in Your Response
- Reflect the commissioner’s specific priorities and values
- Reference local demographics, needs, and health inequalities
- Align your examples to the service type (domiciliary care, learning disability, etc.)
- Adapt KPIs and outcomes to match the contract specification
- Use the commissioner’s language where appropriate (e.g., terminology from the tender documents)
Your method statement should feel bespoke, not recycled.
💡 Examples of Good Practice
For domiciliary care, reference local partnerships and how your staff support people in their own homes. For learning disability services, highlight your experience in communication, positive behaviour support, and inclusion tailored to that demographic.
